I had a dream where I saw my deceased cat it was too real.

He died 3 years ago at 17 years old. I had him my entire life almost and he and I were very close. In my dream he was next to me in bed like he always was and I was patting his head and gently squeezing his feet like I always did. Sadly I had to wake up for work and thus the dream was ruined. It's not the first time he has appeared in dreams. On account of seeing my mum in another dream I may have a knack for seeing the dead or something. Well or perhaps it's trauma.
